 To find site:- On the A84 two miles south of Doune watch out for left turn at sign for Cuthil Brea and camping site. Access is at far end of lane with passing passes and speed humps. People are asked not to arrive before midday and the reception is closed 1. 00pm to 2. 00pm.

Blair Drummond is a Caravan Club affiliated campsite. The site is open from mid March to early January and non member are accepted but not tent campers. The main part of the site is enclosed in a former walled garden. There are some pitches around the outside of the walled part. There are many mature trees in and around the site. There are 88 pitches of which 85 are on hardstandings, some on chipped granite but mainly open block paving which the grass grows through. Some pitches are occupied by seasonal users. There is one toilet block which is of a very good standard with spacious shower cubicles. Toilet cleaning times seem to be a bit elastic! Reception sells a few essentials. Site wide WiFi is available, you sign up and pay online. Television seems a bit problematic and getting a satellite signal requires careful pitch selection. For children there is an adventure style playground and a small kick about area. For those arriving late there is a parking area outside the site barrier with electrics. Whilst Blair Drummond is a very nice site at £23. 50 a night it is a touch expensive given that we are outside the peak season.

There is plenty of opportunities for days out from the site. Stirling is only a few miles away and Stirling Castle is well worth a visit. Stirling itself has a good shopping centre. There is a Park and Ride near the M9 which is worth using as parking in Stirling can be difficult and expensive. For children the Blair Drummond Safari Park, virtually, next to the site will be popular. For shopping there is both Sainsbury’s and Tesco in Stirling.

 Stayed here for four nights in mid July 2011 and enjoyed much better weather than a few weeks previous in Devon.

My wife and I REALLY like this site. It is away from the cities and a little out in the wilds. We particularly enjoy walking and cycling, although we're not keep fit fanatics. This site has so much 'off the beaten track' appeal, yet it provides first class facilities, well maintained flat pitches with 16 amp power and being half a mile from the main A84 road it has excellent security. Watch out for the speed humps in Cuthill Brae, as they're not too clearly marked.

There is a large adjoining wood/conservation area where we walked for a couple of hours (without seeing a soul) and came across 3 roe deer not 5 metres away from us.

We do most of our own cooking, but there's a great pub restaurant in Thornhill only 5 minutes by car. Splendid menu choice & really good food. Bread & milk are available on site as well as a small selection of tinned food, but you need to think of going the 5 miles to Stirling for general food shopping.

We shall certainly return here, as there's so much to do and we've still got to visit all the usual sightseeing places such as Stirling Castle.

 Blair Drummond caravan park is easy to find but lady at wardens office was very unwelcoming (nails). On asking about the discount for the safari park she replied in an off manor you just buy them at the entrance to the safari park, we then found out after reading some leaflets that you can in fact buy the tickets right at the wardens office and it gives you unlimited access to the safari park for the duration of your stay for the same price as a one day entrance ticket.

Unusual you get to pick your own pitch and then inform office about where you are. The play park is great and is in a separate area with about 18 pitches around that area, which is great if you have kids! Ours had a great time. Main walled site is even nicer but you can't see the playpark. Toilet and shower facilities are excellent, plenty of them and very clean. Site is very well kept. 3 Miles to nearest shop is the only downside.

Great value if you are visiting the Safari Park. Would definitely return.

 I used this site for an overnight stop on the way to the West Coast. Usual excellent Caravan Club facilities, pleasant wardens and a very nice location. Good dog walk, easily accessed from our lovely walled garden pitch.

This site was ideal for using as a stopover, the access was easy, being off the main road, then there is a long drive into it, which meant there was no traffic noise, so we had a good night's sleep. We didn't hear any lions roaring in the nearby Safari park!

I would like to use this site again for a longer stay, now I know how good it is, I'll be back!

 This is the 4th year we have visited this site. I take my 2 sons for a week in their summer holidays (while daddy stays home and works!) and we are usually joined by a friend and her 2 daughters. The kids absolutely love the site - the play area is very good and there are plenty of trees around to climb in (this year even made a 'den' in one!) Good old fashioned play. We try to pitch in the area through the walled garden - near the play area - and just love the freedom the children have there.

The toilet/shower/laundry facilities are 1st class. The toilet and shower block has been updated in the time we have visited. The whole area is kept immaculately clean. We have always found the staff to be very pleasant and helpful. (Having read an earlier post where the writer complained she wasn't told about the safari park offer - my experience is the opposite - I initially did not know about the offer but was asked if I wanted to make use of it - and every year I have visited the caravan site I have been advised of the offer)

We have always made use of the excellent offer of unlimited entry into the safari park for the price of one entry. This is fantastic as we go about 3-4 times in the week - it means there's no rush to do or see everything in one day.

Just a short drive away - about 15-20 mins - is the beautiful town of Callander - lots of little shops to idle along and a great fish & chip shop - the holiday wouldn't be complete without our fish & chip treat!

Stirling is just another short drive away - there is the fabulous castle there to explore and the town has a very pleasant shopping centre, cinema complex and sports centre with swimming pool.

There's plenty to keep your family busy - I would highly recommend this site for it's peaceful feel, excellent facilities and beautiful location.

 Site was easy to find, short drive past safari park and well sign posted.

Didn't like the free for all for your pitch, the man that block the entrance in front of us while we booked in, took the pitch we were meant to get. Ended up outside the walled garden with no TV signal due to the wall.

The play park is great and is in a separate area with about 18 pitches around that area, which is great if you have kids!

Toilet and shower facilities are excellent, plenty of them and very clean. Loved the idea of the family bathroom, made it much easier with the baby and toddler.

Site is very well kept.

Great value if you are visiting the Safari Park. Pay once and get unlimited access during your stay.

 Just back from a great weekend at Blair Drummond Caravan Park.

Arrived at the site just before 6 to find reception already closed (as expected as read previous reviews) but instructions were simple and clear how to get in but beware if you're going to arrive after 8pm I would maybe find somewhere else, there is no chance you will be allowed onto the site and the late arrivals area is small and I didn't see EHU.

Anyway, again having read the reviews we headed right through the walled garden and found a pitch close to the park which suited us having 3 kids but really having the choice I would look for one of the half dozen outside the wall to the left as you go through.

Site is immaculately kept, toilets and showers are very new and again beautifully kept.

Point to note, staff are friendly enough but don't expect any flexibility in any of the rules relating to reception opening times!

Good value (especially considering the quality of the facilities) as we have caught an in between week which is considered low season, 2 adults, 3 kids, £52 for 2 nights

All in all a nice site which we will definitely visit again and have no hesitation on recommending.

Reviewer: Feemackenzie 1 review from this member

 A cool November weekend at an amazing site. We pitched up inside the walled garden and felt like we were on our own.

The kids could cycle and explore to the hearts content.

An amazing afternoon spent exploring Doune Castle, catching the sun-setting on distant snow covered hills was brilliant.

No hesitation in recommending the site, the location or wardens.

 Stayed here from Friday till Sunday and really enjoyed it. The weather was great which always helps! We pitched up outside the wall in a very secluded little area. Your own little haven really! Toilets spotless and modern.

The only thing about this site is that dogs have to be kept on the lead in the dog walk and also within the Blair Drummond estate so if your dog likes to have a run about off the lead as ours does you really have to find somewhere off site.

Site not far from the main road but no traffic noise. We didn't have any kids with us but all the children we saw seemed to be having a good time with most of the families pitched around the swing park area just outside the wall.

Callander and Auchterarder near at hand for a visit as well as Stirling and Dunblane. Doune is just down the road and is a lovely little place. Its castle is great for a visit and has connections to Monty Python! In fact we once visited a Monty Python re-enactment day here a few years ago which was a great day out.

This a an excellent site for visiting Central Scotland and we would definitely recommend it.

 We spent a weekend here recently- 2 adults and 2 kids. This was our 2nd visit as we visited last summer too.

Booking process by phone was quick and easy. The warden explained about arrivals times and park entry tickets.

The site is perfectly kept and spotless. It is set out nicely in little areas which makes it quiet and peaceful, though we chose to be by the play park to keep an eye on the kids which was a little noisier. Children all went in at a reasonable time and it was lovely and quiet during the night, which we appreciated after coming from a really noisy site.

The shower blocks were clean and very modern.

There are a few essentials in the on site shop but you need to drive to get to nearest village for shops or pubs, etc. There is a Tesco in Dunblane which is about a 10 minute drive.

We went to the safari park and in to Stirling while we were there. The safari park was very busy but it was the middle of summer holidays so to be expected.

This is a great site, we only wish it was slightly closer to home so we could go more often!
